URBAN DESIGN MATTERS

New York City

New York City (NYC), is the most populous city in the United States. It is located at the southern tip of New York State on New York Harbor, one of the world’s largest natural harbors. The city comprises five boroughs, each coextensive with its respective county. While Manhattan and Staten Island are islands, Brooklyn and Queens are geographically part of Long Island, and the Bronx is attached to the US mainland. The boroughs are linked by bridges, tunnels and ferries. Except at its northern and southern tips, Manhattan follows a grid pattern where avenues run roughly north and south, and streets run east and west.

New York City is an intersection of world cultures, each of which plays a part in its inimitable dynamism. More than 200 languages are spoken across 329 neighborhoods, making it one of the most vibrant and diverse places on the planet. But it’s also our unwavering spirit of inclusion that inspires individuals from every walk of life to visit and live in the five boroughs—regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or ability.

NYC is a hub for sustainability, from major events like Climate Week NYC and some of the world’s most innovative urban development projects to the many initiatives of our small businesses and local organizations and communities. The five boroughs inspire action on a global scale; the City offers a vibrant ecosystem of sustainable businesses, LEED-certified hotels and access to renowned experts in leading academic and policy institutions.
